A group of experts have thought of four ideas that are going to make America's energy supply safer and cleaner. Transporting is the cause of 27 percent of carbon emissions in America. Scientists say that electric vehicle sales should grow causing carbon emissions to reduce at a fairly high rate. Also, scientists are suggesting downsizing nuclear power plants and make them even more safe and cheap. Another idea is to extract frozen gas from permafrost or from the ocean floor and power new turbines. Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels and the U.S. has about 284 trillion cubic feet of it. The last idea is powering cars with pond scum. Algae is a very efficient source of biofuel and some species contain up to 60 percent oil. All of these ideas could be used to help us sustain our earth and live healthier lives. http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8395173318787760504#editor/target=post;postID=2288324167903560032

I think the last idea is the best because it seems reasonable and could supply a lot of cars because there are alot of ponds around in our area.
